If never had a better ticket. We do not believe it has ever had as good a one. The Demo crats have given us a Presidential ticket that every honest man in the land might be proud jto 'support, for whatever else men may say or think vof ,the ticket they are simply com pelled to admit that Cleveland and Hendricks are men of high integrity. With these two tickets why may not North Carolina elect - them by full 25,000 majority. : Tilden and Hen dricks carried the State by more than 17,000 majority in 1876. The population of the State has increased more than two hundred thousand since then. There are more reasons after the eight years j of plunder and rascality for a change of Federal rulers in 1884 than; there were in 1876. We have good reason for Bay ing that at least 40,000 men who pre fer the Democratic to the Republi can party do not vote. Let us organ ize for victory' and Jet us sweep the State by from 25,00D to ' 30,000 ma jority. Organization can do that. Now for victory. - The Republican revolt is -flridening. At Eastport, Maine, "several promi nent Republicans have declared that they will not support Blaine," says a special to the Boston Post. At In dianapolis, the News says, "quite a number of locaLanti-Blaine Republi cans have signed the independents' call for a conference to take place following the Democratic Conven tion, to decide what is best to be done." The Boston Advertiser, the leading Republican! paper of New England, opposes Blaine, and says: "The independents continue to receive letters from all over the State from Repub licans Who are not for the Rlfuna Ann Tj. gan ticket.- One letter stated yesterday ioxcaq ncic oi;uica ui tuu-llue EtcpuDU- cans in the little towns of Franklin, Hamp den, and Hampshire counties who avowed their purpose not to rapport the ticket.

The Fourteenth District in New York has taken the bit in its teeth and has not waited jf or Tammany. Forty ' members of the Tammany General committee met to ratify the Dem ocratic nominations.

We surrender much of our space to-day to the reproducing of the opin ions of Democratic, Independent Democratic, Independent, Republi can, Independent Republican, Ta riff Reform ana Jrroteotion, pa cers on the nomination of Grover Cleveland, of New York, for. Presi dent. The great Independent paper of New York, the 'Herald, not only warmly supports ' the Democratic ticket, bat it has placed the ticket at the head of its editorial columns, a very unusual thing for that paper to "do, we think. The leading Re publican papers and Independent Republican papers, like the N.- Y. Times and Philadelphia Times, are especially warm in behalf of the ticket. We copy from two leading Republican papers of r Philadelphia that : speak very cordial . words for Cleveland. We shall give from day to day other opinions as our exchanges come in. The general yice of .all of. the papers that we have examined up to this present writing, with the exception of organs like the Phila delphia Press and Baltimore Ameri can, and such bilious sheets as the New York Sun and Star, is favora ble, to the ticket. Gov. Cleveland is especially commended for his high sense of duty, his willingness to do what is right, his purity and integri ty of character. Some do not think him the strongest candidate possibly that could have been chosen, but all regard him as possessing excellent qualities for the highest public office and as possessing in an "eminent de gree the traits of character necces- sary in a genuine and decided Re formerfirmness, decision, devotion to duty. W are gratified to read these tes timonials. We rejoice that the se lection of the candidate for the first place excites so much hearty com mendation and sympathy among that class of journals that can. do 'so much to secure the triumph of our ticket. . At the time we make up our press comments the nomination of ex-Gv. Hendricks has not been commented upon so generally. There can be no doubt of the great acceptableness !of his nomination to all Democrats, es pecially to all who voted for.Tilden and Hendricks in 1876, and who re member the great fraud., j The Re publican papers indorsing Cleveland are not bo enamored i of Hen-- dricks. They . cannot eet over the fact that their party was guilty of a stupendous theft and they, will never forgive him for it. : It is a curious trait in fallen humanity that it never forgives the man it wrongs. ' Your worst enemy will be the man who has injured you. He is sure to bear eternal malice be cause at some time he wronged you. Hendricks will give very decided help to the ticket, not only in Indi ana, but in 'other Western States, and he will .cause the Democrats in the South to rally with more zeal and heartiness to the ticket, j There is not an ugly spot on Hendricks's character. He went I unscathed through the most heated campaign since the war, that of 1876, and no stain was found to rest upon his good name. No public man has a better political record-one less j obnoxious to criticism, i Of course liars and de- i ' f amers can he upon and defame the best and holiest men. But we have ho reference to the jackals of party. Theticket will draw to it the en tire Democracy of the country ex cept, it may be, that element that regards John Kelly as the Moham med of politics and it will no doubt be supported by tens of, thouad8 Of Reform Republicans, not only in New York and New England and New Jersey, but throughout the Union. In all the States there are high-toned, honorable Republicans who will prefer honest men to bad men, and who will support . Cleve land and Hendricks. The campaign will be a very exciting one. ' Blaine will stir up all of the worst elements in his party, and he will have the negroes greatly aroused before No vember. But the Democrats, as the elections of 1882 clearly.. showed, are largely in the ' ascendant in the country, and the best men in the Re publican party in a half-dozen States' will help, and,' therefore, ; a - strong, live; vigorous, pertinacious campaign; will be conducted by them.:; We be lieve that with an united and earnest! and continuous effort we can carry! the country and place honest, iustl and reliable men once more in pbwer.I So be it. A suffering country de- mauds it. ! i THE PLATFORM-TARIFF AND IN4 ' - .V . TERRA Ii TAX. . ' --? We had only given an abstract of the Democratic platform a hurried; reading when we wrote, our editorial of Saturday. We desire to suppte-j jnent what we said, by referring tor two points only. The platform it4 self is so long, so elaborate, covers so much ground that it would be a month's work to take it up in order and to discuss its propositions and ideas fully. ' 'XkJ We will say frankly that the Ta riff plank is more for reduction and reform than we at first thought. - An examination of what is said shows that it is much more 'a triumph for; Carlisle and Morrison than for Rani dall and Judge Kelley. But . it is not without some contradictions that wiH be difficult to reconcile and that give papers" of differept classes a chance to" disagree as to what is meant. 5 For instancethelPWladel phin.. Press, Protection, organ, repre sents it asa straddler and - gives a drawing to show that one pfong rests on Freei Trade and one prong ion Protection. The Philadelphia Ame rican, an able organ of the . Protec tionistH, thinks the platform is the work of a committee presided over by Mr. Facing-both-ways. But these objections are extreme. , The platform is a strong Reform plat form, j The underlying : principle of the structure is Reform. However various the ideas presented they are all held together by the silken string of Reform. , , .i ; The platform favors a reduction of the surplus. A most wise demand. It shows that this reduction must be made by : cutting down gradually the present War Tariff, until you reach the standard, of a Tariff for revenue. The wording differs from the old platform's of the party, but possibly the meaning is about 'the same. The platform says and it is as true as truth itself: V .... . I "Unnecessary i. taxation is unjust taxa uon. We denounce the Republican party lor navmz laiieu to relieve tne people from crushing war taxes, which have paralyzed business, cnppiea inaustry, and deprived labor of employment and of just reward. There is no mistaking this. The War Taxes have been a curse to : the country, "have paralyzed business, crippled industry and deprived labor of employment and of just reward.' and "unjust" and must be cut down.J That is the declaration of the Con vention. T Very good! But the plat form is even more explicit. It says: i "The Democratic party it pledged to re vise the tariff in a spirit of fairness to all interest. nut in maKmg reduction in taxes, it is not proposed to miure any domestic industries, but rather to promote their healtny growth. ' Speaker Carlisle, in his speeches in the Congress and in New York, laid down the exact platform of re form ana reduction. It was not to impair, or revolutionize the indus tries by Biidden and violent changes. He said the efforts of the Democratic i " - party were reformatory and not revo lutionary. The platform seems to embody and emphasize that proper idea." It says : "The necessary reduction in taxation can and must, be effected without depriving American labor of the ability to compete successtuiiy with foreign labor, and with out imposing lower, rates of duty than will be ample to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing in mis country. ilere is a concession that is not well taken and which Tariff Reform ers have been fighting, that the Tariff tax does increase the wages of labor ers, lint here is probably the cream of the whole milking . "We,therefore, denounce the abuse of the existing tariff, and, subject to the preced ing limitations, we demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for public pur poses, ano snail not exceed tne demands of ine Lrovemmeni economically aamisfered. If that is not a Tariff for Revenue oniy who incidental protection we are unable to read Jjetween the lines. The iSew York Sun, a Protection paper with some Democratic lean- ngSi gives the following as4 a fair di gest or summary of the Tariff plank: I.

J!.! wise, and progressive " If the Protection Sun is satisfied the Southern Protectionists may ac cept it. The Chicago Jnfer- Ocean says the plank is "crooked and sin uous," and adds : s v "Itis significant that of the thlrtv elirht raemuerg oi me committee thirtv-aeven t . . - K were against the Butler tariff plank." The Philadelphia' Times, another Protection paper, likes the platform, and tells its friends, the Protection Republicans, that if they "can think of a better system of tariff . revision they are at liberty to present it, but they will not be able to attack the Democrats for promising the,! same thing that they have promised and honestly explaining, as they them selves have failed to do, the methods of their proposed reform." The other plank we but refer to is the . Internal Revenue, . The plank proposes to retain the tax ou whiskey and tobacco until the pen sions and war debt are liquidated. It was levied for war purposes and the money must be so applied. This will prevent Democrats from propos ing to divert it to ' an improper use like teaching the negroes the three R. The V Blair bill will find no comfort in that plank. The plank reads:' .. v. ; "The system of direct taxation known as "internal revenue" is a war tax, and so long as the law continues the money de rived therefrom should be sacredly devoted to the relief of the people from the re maining burdens of the war and be made a fund to defray the expense of the care and comfort of worthy soldiers disabled in the line of duty In the wars of the republicand for the payment of such pensions as Con gress may from time to time grant to such soldiers, a like fund for the sailors havine ucu Bireauy-proYiuea, ana any surplus should be paid into the Treasury." The Stab has been fully Vindica ted in its course by the action of the Democrats of the United States. The prospect is that these taxes on whis key and tobacco will be ip existence at the end of the century, If the Blair bill does not get a black-eye in the following plank in the platform for what was jt intend ed. - It reads: . . . "WB ABE OPPOSED TO ALL PBOPOSTTIoitS rKBTEXT WOULD CON- VIB'acJ"LlA ' OVJSJtHMKHT" XSTO A MACHDT8 FOB .COLLECTING TAXES TO BE UITAUIUTJ1J AJIUWU THE DTATES, OS THE errrnrwiaa mn-vmn ' - - -.- .

Partlenlara of a Horrible Mnrder la ' Ovmberlaad County Pom 1b Par- I The Inqaw. &c 1- Intelligence of a terrible murder comes to us from Cumberland county. One day during the latter part of last week there was a cider-drinking on the east side of the Cape Fear river, about six miles from Fay- ctteville, during which a difficulty occurred between John Chance and Frank Royal, both colored; and both somewhat under the influence of their numerous potations. Finally Chance succeeded in getting the better of Royal, and it was generally ac knowledged that the latter was a "whipped nigger." His defeat aroused bitter feelings in; the heart - of Royal 1 and he deter mined upon revenge. He went home and v prevailed , upon hia wife to send for Chance to come ' and i see her, and he in the meantime concealed himself upon the premises. All unsuspectingly John Chance went to the bouse of his late antagonist, had a chat with his' wife and was on the point of leaving, when Royal, who was on one side of the door, knocked him down with an axe. then jumped upon him pocket-knife in hand, and stabbed or cut him in twelve different places, con cluding his fiendish work by cutting his throat from ear to ear. He then left the bleeding form upon the ground and started off, but at the gate he met one of his boon companions, to whom he related the cir cumstances of the bloody tragedy, and ended his story with the declaration that he was afraid John was not dead yet,' and he would go back and, make sure of it He then returned to the side of his victim and actually broke one of his legs and cut off one of his arms with the axe. Sheriff R. W. Hardie was notified, and immediately issued the necessary papers for the murderer s capture, which were placed in the hands of John Chance's bro thers, who were deputized to make the ar rest . They started in pursuit of Royal, accompanied by a posse, but up to Monday morning they had not succeeded in taking Mm. The coroner of the county summoned a jury and held an inquest over the mutilated remains of the murdered man, and a ver dict was returned to the effect that Chance came to his death at the hands of Frank RoyaL jonn unance, uie murdered man, was I about 25 years old and leaves, no family. Frank Royal, the murderer, is about 35 and is married. ) The murder is given up on all sides to have been one of the most cold blooded, brutal and fiendish that was ever commit ted in Cumberland county, and it is boned that the perpetrator will be brought to jus tice. i . : Information Wante. The following letter is published at the request of Mr. David L, Schively, Superin tendent of the National Cemetery, Raleigh, N. C. . Possibly the records in the office of the National Cemetery here may give the desired information.

A number of trees were blown down near there and at Beatty's Bridge, some miles above, but when it passed the Point it was at too high an elevation to do any damage, except to badly frighten many of the peo ple.
